Answer: -3/4

Explanation: when finding slope, you use rise over run, and if you start with the slope point (0,7) and use the rise over run formula to reach the other point (4,4) you’ll notice that you go down 3 units so -3 and you go to the right 4 units which is just 4, then the rise/run is -3/4

(Hope this helps!)

The slope is -3/4

Explanation:

You figure this out by using the Rise/Run method.

The rise is how many units up (+) or how many units down (-) the points are away from each other, and rise is how many units to the left or right the points are away from each other.

Since the line is going at a downward angle, we can tell that the slope will be a negative slope. We can see that the 2nd point is 3 units down from the first, and the 2nd point is 4 units to the right of the first one. With this information, we can figure out that the slope is -3/4
